Perhaps but when the choice is pay or go without, they will pay, they will obviously be more selective but do you genuinely believe that if piracy is eliminated these people will simply stop playing games? Absurd.

If I implied that, I didn't mean to. I just meant that a rush of sales upon piracy elimination is as big a pipe dream as stopping piracy alltogether. It's far easier to just make a game that appeals to people willing to pay money.
|
I dont think there would be a rush of sales upon piracy elimination either. But, the game being good or bad doesnt change anything, piracy will still remove some sales, probably even more in the case of the good game.
|
Which is why I explicitly typed "games people are willing to pay money for" instead of "good", which brings up a lot of subjective arguments, and that someone will claim reviews are what decides makes a good game, even though this is about sales

I agree that if developers make a good game that people are willing to pay money for, it will be successful whether or not theres piracy. I also agree that its easier to make a game people are willing to pay money for then fighting piracy. Though, what im saying is, the games that people are willing to pay money for will still get pirated, maybe even more then less popular game. Basicaly, I agree piracy is not an excuse to use for poor sales. But, saying developers should make games that people are willing to pay money for isnt an excuse to not fight piracy either.

It's a reason to not make loads of useless DRM. Suing people that heavily pirate or enable pirating is in their rights.

Agreed, im not pro DRM myself. I didnt understand you were talking about that.
